Soldier should be given respect!

A
story is about a soldier who was finally coming home after having fought in border
suppose in #Uri. He called his parents from there before Durga Puja or
navaratri, as if he was granted a leave. “Mom and Dad, I’m coming home in
coming holiday of puja, but I’ve a favour to ask. I have a friend I’d like to
bring home with me. “Sure,” they replied, “we’d love to meet him.”

“There’s
something you should know,” the son continued, “he was hurt pretty badly in the
fighting. He stepped on a land mind and lost an arm and a leg. He has nowhere
else to go, and I want him to come live with us.”

“I’m
sorry to hear that, son. Maybe we can help him find somewhere to live.”

“No,
Mom and Dad, I want him to live with us.”

“Son,”
said the father, “you don’t know what you’re asking. Someone with such a
handicap would be a terrible burden on us. We have our own lives to live, and
we can’t let something like this interfere with our lives. I think you should
just come home and forget about this guy. He’ll find a way to live on his own.
How many days later you are coming home! Forget about anything else. ”

At
that point, the son hung up the phone. The parents heard nothing more from him.
A few days later, however, they received a call from the Military police. Their
son had died after falling from a building, they were told. The police believed
it was suicide.

The
grief-stricken parents flew to Kashmir and were taken to the city morgue to
identify the body of their son. They recognized him, but to their horror they
also discovered something they didn’t know, their son had only one arm and one
leg. And now they got astonished remembering the phone call. They even can’t
keep what is left of their son…

In this story we found the parents
are like many of us. We find it easy to love those who are good-looking or fun
to have around, but we don’t like people who inconvenience us or make us feel
uncomfortable. We would rather stay away from people who aren’t as healthy,
beautiful, or smart as we are. Thankfully, there’s someone who won’t treat us
that way. Someone who loves us with an unconditional love that welcomes us into
the forever family, regardless of how messed up we are. Tonight, before you
tuck yourself in for the night, say a little prayer that God will give you the
strength you need to accept people as they are, and to help us all be more
understanding of those who are different from us! And once they are to defence
or any military system. We can sleep easily, cuz someone is guarding us with
its bravery to the fullest; we don’t know that what hardship they are going
through. In the toughest of scenarios they are living in, whether it’s in
desert in Rajasthan or ice in Siachen. They live for us, actually we live due
to the sacrifices of them. So they can at-least expect this much from all of
us!
